Naturopathic Nutrition

If you are looking for a simple, natural approach to achieving good health then you have found it! Naturopathic Nutrition is a practical and integrated approach to health and wellbeing!

Naturopathic Nutrition is about more than just food – it presents the miraculous human body and its healing processes in an intuitive and logical way that both makes sense and inspires people to take charge of their own health and wellbeing.

You can learn to change things in your body to provide your trillions of cells with the support, information and nutrition they require to cleanse effectively.

This will help remove stagnation, heal, and ultimately to harness the cleansing andenergising power of the natural cycles.

Our bodies have an outstanding capacity for self-healing and nurturing – and with this awareness, we can take back control for our own health and wellbeing.

What happens in a session?

In your initial one hour consultation we go through your case history together – working through the pre-questionnaire that you will have already completed at home, and filling in more details about your story from when you were born, and possibly including your family influences on your life and health.

We will interpret your case history, bringing clarity to how your body has arrived at its present condition. I will bring you awareness and knowledge of how your intelligent body has always done its very best for you. Nothing in our bodies happens randomly, and this becomes clear when we recognise how everything is connected.

You will learn how to keep your body less stressed, well nourished and hydrated. This is not just a question of the nutrients and water you are putting in, but how they are being absorbed and moved to the right place to be utilised effectively.

This you can achieve with my recommendations regarding diet,supplements, naturopathic techniques and lifestyle.

Is there any preparation?

There’s just one thing you need to do to prepare.

I will send you an initial questionnaire for you to complete and send back to me prior to the session.

This helps to begin bringing your awareness to your body and your lifestyle, and note how you are feeling physically, emotionally and mentally.

It will help bring focus to how you are nourishing, and how you are stressing your body, again on various levels – with your food, your emotions, your behaviour.

If you have the time, you may wish to read the book “Cellular Awakening” by Barbara Wren, the founder of the College of Natural Nutrition.

This book is very interesting and inspiring to read, and gives a background to the Natural Nutrition approach to health and wellbeing.

The Origins of Naturopathy

The principles of Naturopathy were first used by the Hippocratic School of Medicine in about 400 BC.

The Greek philosopher Hippocrates believed in viewing the whole person in regards to finding a cause of disease, and using the laws of nature to induce cure.

It was from this original school of thought that Naturopathy takes its principles:

The healing power of nature – nature has the innate ability to heal.

Identify and treat the cause – there is always an underlying cause, be it physical or emotional.

Do no harm – a Naturopath will never use treatments that may create other conditions.

Treat the whole person – when preparing a treatment plan, all aspects of a person’s being are taken into consideration.

The Naturopath as teacher – a Naturopath empowers the patient to take responsibility for his/her own health by teaching self-care.

Prevention is better than cure – a Naturopath may help remove toxic substances and situations from a patient’s lifestyle to prevent the onset of further disease.
